Zoom Court in Illinois: Understanding Remote Legal Proceedings

In the Chicago metro area, remote legal proceedings have become an integral part of our justice system. Some cases and proceedings are heard via Zoom, a video conferencing software used instead of attending in-person court. 

Below, you’ll find information about how to access and use Zoom as well as links and passwords for many of the local courts. 

Preparing for Zoom Court

Technical Requirements

Internet Connection:
A stable internet connection is crucial. We recommend an internet speed of at least 2 Mbps.

Device Specifications:

  • Desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone
  • Webcam (built-in or external)
  • Microphone and speakers or a headset

Software:
The latest version of Zoom must be installed on your device. It is free to download and use in a limited capacity. 

Presentation

Background and Attire:

  • Background: Simple and uncluttered, or use a neutral virtual background.
  • Attire: Dress as you would for an in-person court appearance, typically in business or business casual attire.

Conduct:

  • Conduct yourself professionally, as if you were physically present in the courtroom. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during the session. Do not call in from a vehicle.

Testing Your Zoom Setup

  • Audio and Video: Use Zoom’s test function to check our microphone and camera.
  • Internet Connection: Run an internet speed test to confirm your connection is stable.
  • Lighting: Ensure your face is well-lit and visible.
  • Background Noise: Test for potential background noise and seek ways to mitigate it. Using headphones can help with this. 

We also recommend signing in at least 10-15 minutes early to troubleshoot any last-minute issues and familiarize yourself with Zoom’s interface.

How to Use Zoom for Your Court Appearance

To join a Zoom meeting for a court appearance, go online and navigate to https://zoom.us/join and enter the Zoom Meeting ID and Password provided to you by the court or available on this page. 

If you have been given a specific Zoom link to use, you may also enter that into your browser and then provide the Zoom password when prompted.
